✓ Scared of the Dark/Creature of the Night medals

edited June 2021 in Bug Reporting
Bug type: Medal / Quest

Brief bug summary: The Scared of the Dark and Creature of the Night medals will not let you complete them if you miss a day.

More details:
Creature of the Night requires you to log in between 12:00 AM and 3:00 AM (UTC) for 7 days straight, while Scared of the Dark requires you to log in between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM (UTC) for 7 days straight. The problem with this is that the quest for this medal glitches if you miss a single day. Normally, you would expect that the quest progression would reset if you miss a day, but the actual result is that the progression freezes. If you try to forfeit the quests and restart them, your progress will not be reset, meaning that missing a day causes you to permanently become unable to complete these medals. These have been broken since 2012.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Attempt the Scared of the Dark and/or Creature of the Night medal.
2. Miss a day's worth of progression. Notice that the day after, it will no longer track your progress, nor will it reset your progress.
3. Forfeit the medal quest and restart. Notice that it will show the last day's worth of progress (for example, 2 days would give you 2/7).

Character name: GreenGales

Character level: 255

Character job: Wind Archer

World name: Bera

Date and time of the incident: June 25, 2020 at 8:00 PM (but this issue has existed since 2012)

    This has been an unresolved issue for as long as I can remember and I've been collecting since 2011. I report it periodically through here and live chat every year, let's hope they finally see a report. :)

    At this rate we'll reach 6 years since this medal has been glitched. Bravo.

    Been broken for me for years. But perhaps they'll raise its priority if I mention that the bug also offers an exploit to obtain the medals in one session:

    When you log in and get the medal quest with a 1/7 count, forfeit the quest. Enter and exit the cash shop or change channels. Upon reentering a channel, you'll receive the quest again with 2/7 counts. Repeat 5 more times. Ta da, you got Scared of the Dark/Creature of the Night in minutes, without having to log in for a week.

    Won't help your characters who've already missed a day, but you can rush the medals to avoid risking the glitch on any new characters.

    For those still following, it got patched recently though I’m not sure when. I just got both creature of the night and scared of the dark. If you forfeit and reaccept the quest the count resets. I’ve had it bugged since release and am very happy to finally get these two medals!
